Tel, Richarlison And Danso To Start | 4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Crystal Palace | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur will entertain Crystal Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Thursday night as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. Spurs suffered a tough 2-1 loss away at Fulham in the London derby recently, so they would be keen on getting back to winning ways in midweek.

Igor Tudor will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his first team for this game. Mathys Tel, Richarlison and Kevin Danso could all play from the start of this contest.

Defence

Guglielmo Vicario will operate in between the sticks for Spurs after he conceded two goals in his last outing. Kevin Danso will play alongside Micky van de Ven at the centre of the Tottenham backline as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.

Pedro Porro will try to prove his worth as the right-back, while Djed Spence, who is a doubt for this game, looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Souza will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Joao Palhinha and Archie Gray will anchor the midfield for the North London club as they focus on winning the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Mathys Tel, Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani will operate just ahead of them as part of Tudor’s attack. All three of them need to link up with each other well in the final third if Spurs are to come out on top this week.

Conor Gallagher, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Richarlison will spearhead Tottenham’s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a real threat in the final third.

Dominic Solanke will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if required.
